Quoted from KornFreak28:All cleaned up with new trim installed
Why is the trim shorter on the sides? I have noticed this on a lot of machines.
Also, what is he sanding with when he sands for the decal? I would guess 1500.
That hand looks awesome. It is 100000x better. I do think it's too shiny though. I'd like to see one with a satin finish.

The trim is shorter on the sides because that's how you buy it. It's made the same as the originals.
Sanding before decals is done with 320 grit, followed by red Scotchbrite pad then white.

Modfather said it's the light on top of it making it appear too shiny. I did request a matte finish
Quoted from KornFreak28:I contacted the Modfather and he was nice enough to get rid of the shine to the hand. It was about to ship out....
Looks a lot better with no shine! The Modfather ROCKS!
Much better
Quoted from KornFreak28:Next is sanding and painting the screens
And this is needed because some dipshit decided he'd paint the back of the cabinet and head with spray paint.
The following is a lesson in tumbling from Bryan: The first media is what it should look like. Even if it gets dirty, it should turn a darker brown. If it turns greyish, it's been contaminated with somwthing. It won't clean but it won't polish like it should. The parts won't shine like they should.
Quoted from Bohdi:Looking good Bryan. Seems to be a fair share of beer drinking going on though...
I'm responsible for 2 cases

That's it? That's only a few days worth?

Glad you like it! It's a lot of work but well worth it....
That Thing hand looks amazing.
That Fulton Blonde tastes amazing.
(The Shiner Bock isn't too shabby either.)

I agree. Shiner Bock is not bad at all
